How would you interpret this? Flirting...?

I understand the literal meaning, but I'm not sure if I am taking it the right way or not. I was hoping maybe someone of the same culture could maybe tell me what they think could have been meant by this. I am familiar with the phrase "sueñas con los angelitos"... However, I was told "Ok bye, te cuidas, y sueñas con los......quien tu quieras....tambien besos." I understand this literally to mean "Ok bye, take care, and dream with the... (starting to say the "dream with angels" phrase)... whoever you would want... and kisses too." Correct? But how would you normally take this culturally? What do you think was implied? Would you consider this an "indirecta" or what? Thanks. smile

what do you 'think' typo :) - Kiwi-Girl, Jun 1, 2011
Hehe, did you see that typo with the eyes on the back Kiwi? hehe - Destroyed99, Jun 1, 2011
Haha, I didn't notice... I don't even proofread anything since I use chrome now... So if I misspell a word but it is a real word... Yeah, bad habit. haha Thanks though - SavviVague, Jun 1, 2011
no I save those ones for naughty children only, I just used my regular ones for that ja ja - Kiwi-Girl, Jun 1, 2011
soñar con = dream OF; quien tú quieras (since querer is in subjunctive) roughly equals "dream of...of whomever you want." (Although, it could mean "of whomever you love" I think). I'm not a native, so I've added my comment here and not as a "real" answer. - webdunce, Jun 1, 2011
@ Savvi - no worries, not a biggie, just can't help myself lol :) - Kiwi-Girl, Jun 1, 2011
"of whomever you please" is also an option. I am watching the question as I find it interesting myself. - webdunce, Jun 1, 2011
@webdunce, thanks, I appreciate. Although I'm pretty sure I have the literal meaning pretty figured out-- It's the interpretation of what could have been meant by those words that's troubling me... You guys might not be able to answer though, haha... - SavviVague, Jun 1, 2011
good point Web :) that's a trap for young players, I did a thread on it and then had forgotten all about soñar con = dream about, gracias por recordarme :) - Kiwi-Girl, Jun 1, 2011
Lol, ok Kiwi, Savvi, how old are you? haha, just kidding mate ;) - Destroyed99, Jun 1, 2011
I wish I could get a real answeeeer :P haha - SavviVague, Jun 1, 2011

"Ok bye, te cuidas, y sueñas con los......quien tu quieras....tambien besos."

My take on this is "OK bye, take care (should be imperative), dream with (also needs to be imperative, started to say "angles" but changed his mind, wanted to say "of me," changed his mind to not be presumptuous and finally settled on "who you love"), also kisses.

If It's a guy who said that, regardless of his culture even if he was from Mars, he was definitely flirting with you.

If it was a girl who said that, then she ............I give up. Women have a dictionary of their own!

"Of the same culture?"... would be which culture to begin with?... I think your query would better be answered if we knew what cultural exposure your friend has had... and is this someone you know well or just a passing acquaintance? I believe with all that you have told us, this individual was just being nice and perhaps a bit coy... bottom line, has this person ever made any advances or even innuendoes that he might be "interested" in you? Start there, my guess.... smile
